An observational study in Tooth Wear and Musculoskeletal Disorder, sponsored by University of Liege. Status unknown at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-08-21.
Sponsored by University of Liege · Observational
This study aims to explore the relationships between tooth wear (TW) and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The null hypothesis is that TW is not associated to MSDs. It also explores the influence of bruxism signs, life habits and stress on TW and MSDs.
This study is based on questionnaires and clinical examination performed by a dentist.
62 studies on the registry are indexed under Tooth Wear; 12 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 385 is above the median of 71 across 21 observational studies indexed under Tooth Wear.

"Nordique Questionnaire": validated self-report questionnaire to evaluate musculo skeletal health, particularly MSD on 9 different zones
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Tooth wear following BEWE index
Clinical examination will give a global score on 18 following Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index.
